Nintendo has released a free demo for upcoming adventure game Princess Peach: Showtime on the Nintendo Switch eShop.
Fans can now download the demo, which allows them to sample two of the transformations Princess Peach embodies in the full game: Swordfighter Peach, which turns gameplay into a hack ‘n slash, and Patissiere Peach, which offers a minigame-style experience where players must stack carts with cookies and decorate big cakes.
“In Princess Peach: Showtime, Peach and her retinue of Toads battle to ‘save the play’ after the Grape and the Sour Bunch disrupt a show at the Sparkle Theater,” the official synopsis reads. The full game arrives March 22, meaning fans have a couple of weeks to try the demo before committing to the full game.
The full Princess Peach: Showtime comes with many more transformations such as Ninja Peach, Figure Skater Peach, and more. Each completely changes the style of gameplay on offer, as Peach works her way through different levels to overcome the Grape and the Sour Bunch.
In our preview of the game, IGN said: “Princess Peach: Showtime is wholly its own thing, decoupled from the traditional Mario game entirely, and throughout our time with it we found ourselves really impressed with how different and special each stage looked and felt.”
